This is apparently the start of the effort to establish more elaborate fiction in the WARS world to generate more interest in the relaunch of the WARS CCG, which was based on the SW:CCG game mechanics and featured fiction wirtten by Michale A Stackpole (of X-Wing fame). One of the new novellas will be written by Nathan Butler as well.

So, if your looking forward to playing SW:CCG without the SW name, consider giving this stuff a look so hopefully the game can have a successful relaunch in the near future.
